Review on 🐶 BLUECARE LABS Bitter Apple Spray for Dogs - Natural Anti-Chew Deterrent to Stop Chewing on Furniture, Carpet, and Hotspots - Pet Corrector Spray for Dog Training - Safe Alcohol-Free & Non-Toxic - 8oz by Angela Banks

We bought THREE different 'stop' products including this one and two others. None of them had any noticeable effect, other than lightening our wallets. We made the mistake of spraying the kitchen countertop a bit which landed on some gummy bears that fell out of the bag. My wife didn't like it at all! I would like at least one to work reasonably, then I could determine how often it needs to be reapplied to keep it effective. I saw another reviewer say it needs to be reapplied every 5 hours or so. As for the restraint of our 9 month old French. no bone. If it worked, bitter cherries (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A2BSZZY) would be the cheapest of all the products we tested. Other products were: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I2A6MPG (Bitter Lemon because we watched our French Bulldog not bite the lemons falling from our tree) - didn't help. And this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0841LVD57 - Bitter Apple Spray. We really didn't expect this to work, because Zeus spent a long time chewing green apples that fell from our neighbors' apple trees. Long story short, it will probably repel humans adequately, but as many other reviews have pointed out, it doesn't seem to help dogs much/at all. HOW WE TESTED IT: Zeus, our Frenchman, found that while he couldn't tear the top surfaces of his dog bed, he CAN flip it over and tear the bottom fabric. So I sprayed copious amounts of each of these substances onto each of the three corners of the bottom of the bed. and even on one of the top surfaces where he "sucks" to calm down. Absolutely no change in behavior. I even repeatedly applied the same products to all three areas until they all got quite wet. Without change. Zeus didn't even cast in phases, attacking each of the corners with his usual energy. I also tried spraying each of the three products onto rags until half of the rag was fairly damp. Zeus happily chewed and tugged at the wet part of each rag. I didn't notice any change in behavior at all. But me. I touched my mouth with a finger that had touched a bitter lemon and… well, nasty – it was like chewing on an aspirin. Finally I tried spraying the corners of an Amazon box, these 3 products came. Zeus loves to shred boxes. The spray might as well be liver pâté. no change in behavior is observed despite licking and biting various treated surfaces. In short, none of the sprays had any noticeable effect. I'll repeat my experiments but I don't expect any difference. On the plus side, only the Bitter Lemon smelled bad - and only slightly because of its "chemical" flavor. Others smelled nice and I didn't notice any change in the surfaces they were sprayed on. It seems that our best way to limit chewing is to monitor closely, punish bad behavior and reward good behavior. Also, these foods just aren't enough to keep Zeus from chewing on any shoes or socks he finds!
